6 Effective And Easy Lifestyle Changes To Reduce Waste
Without having to adopt the minimalist lifestyle.
There are thousands of thoughts that run through our mind every single day, but I’m betting one of them that doesn’t come to mind is how much waste we are creating every single day. As unusual weather occurrences keep occurring, we can’t have the same sort of attitude as one of the gym members statement they made to me a few weeks ago.
It was late January when New Brunswick was hit by their first major snow storm. I mentioned to a member how relieved I am that it’s actually snowing out. They laughed and remarked about how the weather is terrible and that they wouldn’t complain if our winters were more in the positive temperatures.
As much as winter can be awful and we don’t want to deal with it, it’s concerning when this weather should’ve started back in December when winter started. It’s also concerning when most of the East Cost was celebrating a green Christmas this year.
It gets you to start thinking about our own individual impact we are making on the world.
According to the EPA, the average person produces 4.40 pounds of waste. They technically produce 5.91 pounds but 1.51 pounds of it is recyclable.
